Great article about Capn Jax here (on ESPN no less), sorry if its already been posted. I will delete it if it has.

Great article, makes me even more excited for tonight.

Nice write up by Ms.Hill. Jax has been a great addition to this franchise. He's proven himself to be an exceptional teammate and leader. He's a very articulate young man and not the "thug" persona his actions in Detroit in '04 might've led many to believe.

I honestly wouldn't mind trading Jackson if the circumstances were right and it led us to getting another scorer with upside. I like him and he plays good defense but he takes a ton of stupid shots, just over and over when he's off. However, we wouldn't be in the playoffs without him.

STOP!!! Jax was brought here to take shots and to be this team's go to scorer. he has done his job more games than he hasn't and is the ultimate competitor. the nba is not full of players who play both ends of the floor with equal effort much less ability so we should consider ourselves fortunate to have Jax on our team. we should also remember that he has been on this team for such a short time that he and his teamates haven,t had enough timne to really get to know each other the way other playoff teams have and he is still learning how to mesh his game with what LB expects and needs him to do.

the worst thing about his off court problems is that he doesn't get credit for being as good of player as he is
